Summary/Notes:

International Colloquium, February 9-10 2018. Trinity Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Trinity College Dublin

Of particular significance for an understanding of early Church history are the Waldensians, members of a dissident religious movement which originated in France in the twelfth century and resided primarily in the Duchy of Savoy and Northern and Southern Italy, before moving to other parts of Europe. Bringing together contributions by leading scholars in the field, this volume of essays discusses the construction and transmission of Waldensian identity through discourse and cultural production. It highlights in particular the religious and political significance of the Waldensians at an international level, not least with regard to the Reformation and its aftermath. Fundamental to the research presented are the rich holdings of Waldensian manuscripts in the Old Library of Trinity College Dublin and also in Cambridge, Geneva and Grenoble.

The volume is divided into two parts and its first section, 'Editing Waldensian Texts and Manuscripts', considers Waldensian texts and manuscripts, their circulation, physical characteristics, language and textual sources.

The second section, 'Constructing Waldensian Identity', examines the shifting representation of Waldensian identity through stereotypes, modern literature, the visual arts and historical accounts; the role played by specific libraries, individuals, gifts, and countries in promoting and fashioning Waldensian identity is also brought to light. A key aim of the volume is to offer a review of research to date and to point up future directions for study
